Thank you Melanie Tipton-Fortney for sharing these photos of your Newfoundland, “Kizzy” (VN GCHS CH Timberknolls Kizzme Like You Mean It CD BN RN FDC CGCA CGCU TKA ATT FTN DD NW1 WRDX), doing what she was bred to do. According to the American Kennel Club, “Newfoundlands are peerless shipboard working dogs who specialized in dramatic water rescues. Newfoundlands are born swimmers, complete with partially webbed feet, and strong enough to save a grown man from drowning.”

The first photo was taken at a Newfoundland Club of America Water Rescue Dog Excellent Test. According to the Newfoundland Club Of America, “This test is for the elite working dog, who shows a drive and stamina and instinctive working ability beyond most Newfoundlands. The six exercises consist of searching for an abandoned boat, and returning it to land; rescuing multiple victims and returning them to a boat; rescue of an unconscious victim; a rescue of a victim under a capsized boat; delivering a line to shore from a stranded boat; and rescuing two drowning victims from behind a boat. Dogs who complete all 6 exercises earn the title of WRDX.” Kizzy is pictured on a very rainy day pulling in two “ hidden victims” who were behind the boat calling for help; they are hanging on to her dense double coat. The second photo was taken during the Newfoundland Club Of America Water Rescue Dog! Way to go Kizzy!

Thank you Erynn Lucas for sharing this Form Follows Function photo of your Whippet, “Cuvee” (GCHS Ableaim Kalina Mumm’s the Word BN CC CM SC DS RATN TKN), doing what he was bred to do! Erynn says, “Cuvee was the #1 NOFCA Whippet in 2025 which is our hunting organization as well as a Best In Specialty Show winner and a Top 20 Whippet Breed points for 2022-2024.” Outside of his success in the show ring, Cuvee also has a Trick Dog title, Senior Dock Diving title, CGC, and a Senior Courser title. Way to go Cuvee!

According to the American Kennel Club, “The sleek, sweet-faced Whippet, the ‘Poor Man’s Racehorse,’ is lightning quick. He is an amiable, dignified, and gentle soul, but give him something to chase and he’s all business. For thousands of years the Greyhound has been the template for later sighthounds, and the mild-mannered Whippet is a highly successful member of this clan of lightning-fast sprinters. The Whippet story begins in Victorian England. North-country coal miners enjoyed the sports of dog racing and rabbit hunting on their days off. But they couldn’t afford to feed and kennel large athletes like Greyhounds, nor did they have the space to properly exercise them. The miners’ practical solution was to breed a smaller version of the Greyhound. Though it is uncertain which breeds were utilized to create the Whippet, the miners plainly did their work well. Their handiwork, the Whippet, is the fastest breed of its size, reaching speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. By the turn of the 20th century, textile workers from Lancashire were emigrating to New England. Among the touches of home they brought to the New World were their Whippets. The Whippet was an instant success in America, and Whippet racing’ for money or just for fun’ caught on with people from all walks of life, just as it had in England. The AKC registered its first Whippet in 1888. These days, lure coursing provides an excellent outlet for the Whippet’s need for speed.”

Thank you Sarah Laughter for sharing these adorable photos of your daughter, Caralynn! Sarah says, “Caralynn Laughter was a cat person until we purchased “Duke,” an American Staffordshire Terrier. She was the only one of our three daughters that went along with my husband and I to pick Duke up and she immediately fell in love! She grooms him, she works on Obedience training and Trick training with him and is our photographer and videographer in the AKC Conformation ring and at Fastcat events! Cara will be old enough next year to be an AKC Junior!” Keep up the great work Cara!
